1129-41-5 Usage
Description
Metolcarb (17), m-tolyl methylcarbamate
(IUPAC), C9H11NO2, MW 165.2, mp 76–77 ?C, is a colorless
solid that is moderately soluble in water and is readily
soluble in polar organic solvents.
Chemical Properties
Metolcarb is a colorless crystalline
solid.
Uses
Metolcarb is used to control planthoppers, leafhoppers and other
sucking pests on rice. It is also used for control of citrus mealybugs, onion
thrips, Mediterranean fruit flies, pink bollworms and cotton aphids.
Preparation
Metolcarb is produced by the reaction between 3-
methylphenol and Metolcarb.
General Description
Colorless crystalline solid. METOLCARB is an insecticide for the control of rice leafhoppers, planthoppers, codling moth, citrus mealybug, onion thrips, fruit flies, bollworms and aphids. Not registered as a pesticide in the U.S.
Air & Water Reactions
Soluble in water.
Reactivity Profile
METOLCARB is a carbamate ester. Carbamates are chemically similar to, but more reactive than amides. Like amides they form polymers such as polyurethane resins. Carbamates are incompatible with strong acids and bases, and especially incompatible with strong reducing agents such as hydrides. Flammable gaseous hydrogen is produced by the combination of active metals or nitrides with carbamates. Strongly oxidizing acids, peroxides, and hydroperoxides are incompatible with carbamates.
Health Hazard
Different sources of media describe the Health Hazard of 1129-41-5 differently. You can refer to the following data:
1. High oral and skin toxicity, and moderate inhalation toxicity. (Non-Specific -- Carbamates) Some carbamates appear to be carcinogenic, teratogenic, and/or mutagenic. Carbamates are cholinesterase inhibitors.
2. Highly toxic by ingestion and moderately toxic by inhalation and skin absorption; cholinesterase inhibitor; exhibits acute,delayed, and chronic toxicity; toxic effects arethose of organophosphorus pesticides and carbamate esters; the symptoms include excessive salivation, lacrimation, blurred vision,headache, labored breathing, twitches ofmuscle, loss of reflexes, headache, weakness, sweating, nausea, giddiness, vomiting,cramps, diarrhea, convulsions, and coma; U.S.EPA-listed extremely hazardous substance.LD50 oral (rat): 268 mg/kgLD50 skin (rat): 268 mg/kgLD50 inhalation (rat): 128 mg/m3 hour.
Fire Hazard
As for other solid carbamate pesticides, container may explode in heat of fire. Fire and runoff from fire control water may produce irritating or poisonous gases. Emits toxic fumes of nitrogen oxides when heated to decomposition. Avoid decomposing heat.
Agricultural Uses
Insecticide, Acaricide: Metolcarb is an insecticide for the control of rice
green leafhoppers, plant-hoppers, codling moth, citrus
mealy bug, onion thrips, fruit flies, bollworms and aphids.
Not registered for use in the U.S. Not listed for use in EU
countries.

Safety Profile
Poison by ingestion and
skin contact. Moderately toxic by inhalation.
Mutation data reported. When heated to
decomposition it emits toxic fumes of NOx.

Potential Exposure
Metolcarb is an insecticide used for
the control of rice leafhoppers, plant-hoppers; codling
moth; citrus mealy bug; onion thrips; fruit flies; bollworms
and aphids. Not registered as a pesticide in the United
States.
Metabolic pathway
The main pathways of metabolism of metolcarb in plants, mammals and
insects involve ring-methyl, N-methyl and phenyl-ring hydroxylation
and conjugation. Carbamate ester hydrolysis is a minor reaction. Further
oxidation of a ring-hydroxymethyl moiety to carboxyl occurs in rats and
insects.
Shipping

Technical Name Required.
Incompatibilities
Carbamates are incompatible with reducing
agents such as hydrides, strong acids, oxidizing acids,
peroxides, and bases. Contact with active metals or nitrides
cause the release of flammable, and potentially explosive,
hydrogen gas. May react violently with bromine, ketones.
Incompatible with azo dyes, caustics, ammonia, amines,
boranes, hydrazines, strong oxidizers.
Waste Disposal
Consult with environmental
regulatory agencies for guidance on acceptable disposal
practices. Generators of waste containing this contaminant
(≥100 kg/mo) must conform to EPA regulations
governing storage, transportation, treatment, and waste
disposal. In accordance with 40CFR165, follow recommendations
for the disposal of pesticides and pesticide
containers. Must be disposed properly by following package
label directions or by contacting your local or federal
environmental control agency, or by contacting your
regional EPA office.
Check Digit Verification of cas no
The CAS Registry Mumber 1129-41-5 includes 7 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 4 digits, 1,1,2 and 9 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 4 and 1 respectively.
Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 1129-41:
(6*1)+(5*1)+(4*2)+(3*9)+(2*4)+(1*1)=55
55 % 10 = 5
So 1129-41-5 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
